Pulisic has now scored in four straight games
U.S. men's national team star Christian Pulisic was once again on the scoresheet for AC Milan, this time scoring in Sunday's 3-1 win over Verona. The play started when Noah Okafor won the ball near the midfield line and made a dash down the left flank, taking a shot on goal in the process. Verona goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo initially got the save but sent the ball straight back into the field of play and Pulisic made a corresponding run on the right side of the field to ensure he would be near goal in order to finish off the chance.
This is the 12th goal of the season for Pulisic, marking a career-best for him with about two months left of the season, as well as the fourth game in a row in which he's scored for Milan.
Pulisic joined the Serie A side over the summer in an effort to earn more playing time after an up-and-down four-year spell at Chelsea, and he has essentially hit the ground running since beginning his Italian adventure. He slotted into the lineup instantly, generally playing alongside Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud in attack.
